Johnson Wax Administration Building Phaidon Press Ltd

Sztuka

Herbert Johnson, grandson of the founder of the SC Johnson Company, turned his corporation's fortunes around during the Depression by developing a highly successful self-polishing floor wax; in 1936 he sought out a suitable architect to design a worker-friendly new office building for the burgeoning business. The result was Frank Lloyd Wright's innovative brick and glass Administration Building and later Research Tower, which both became national landmarks. The American Institute of Architects designated the Johnson Wax Administration Building and Tower as two of 17 buildings by Wright considered to be of eminent architectural importance to American culture. This book provides a thorough examination and account of one of Frank Lloyd Wright's most popular buildings. The comprehensive and expert text, relating the commissions to their historical periods; the needs of the client in conjunction with the employees; and then Wright's body of work as a whole, is combined with specially commissioned colour photography and specially prepared drawings.

Why Education Is Useless University of Pennsylvania Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Why Education Is Useless Daniel Cottom "A tour de force, implicitly summarizing and commenting on more than two millennia of arguments about the function of education. Why Education Is Useless is craftily written and thoroughly enjoyable."--Michael Berube, author of The Employment of English: Theory, Jobs, and the Future of Literary Studies Education is useless because it destroys our common sense, because it isolates us from the rest of humanity, because it hardens our hearts and swells our heads. Bookish persons have long been subjects of suspicion and contempt and nowhere more so, perhaps, than in the United States during the past twenty years. Critics of education point to the Nazism of Martin Heidegger, for example, to assert the inhumanity of highly learned people; they contend that an oppressive form of identity politics has taken over the academy and complain that the art world has been overrun by culturally privileged elitists. There are always, it seems, far more reasons to disparage the ivory tower than to honor it. The uselessness of education, particularly in the humanities, is a pervasive theme in Western cultural history.With wit and precision, Why Education Is Useless engages those who attack learning by focusing on topics such as the nature of humanity, love, beauty, and identity as well as academic scandals, identity politics, multiculturalism, and the corporatization of academe. Asserting that hostility toward education cannot be dismissed as the reaction of barbarians, fools, and nihilists, Daniel Cottom brings a fresh perspective to all these topics while still making the debates about them comprehensible to those who are not academic insiders. A brilliant and provocative work of cultural argument and analysis, Why Education Is Useless brings in materials from literature, philosophy, art, film, and other fields and proceeds from the assumption that hostility to education is an extremely complex phenomenon, both historically and in contemporary American life. According to Cottom, we must understand the perdurable appeal of this antagonism if we are to have any chance of recognizing its manifestations--and countering them.Ranging in reference from Montaigne to George Bush, from Sappho to Timothy McVeigh, Why Education Is Useless is a lively investigation of a notion that has persisted from antiquity through the Renaissance and into the modern era, when the debate over the relative advantages of a liberal and a useful education first arose. Facing head on the conception of utility articulated in the nineteenth century by John Stuart Mill, and directly opposing the hostile conceptions of inutility that have been popularized in recent decades by such ideologues as Allan Bloom, Harold Bloom, and John Ellis, Cottom contends that education must indeed be "useless" if it is to be worthy of its name. Daniel Cottom is David A. Burr Chair of Letters at the University of Oklahoma. He is author of numerous books, including Ravishing Tradition: Cultural Forces and Literary History and Cannibals and Philosophers: Bodies of Enlightenment. 2003 | 256 pages | 6 x 9 ISBN 978-0-8122-3720-7 | Cloth | $45.00s | GBP29.50 ISBN 978-0-8122-0168-0 | Ebook | $45.00s | GBP29.50 World Rights | Education Short copy: "A tour de force, implicitly summarizing and commenting on more than two millennia of arguments about the function of education."--Michael Berube, author of The Employment of English: Theory, Jobs, and the Future of Literary Studies

Shadrach in the Furnace University of Nebraska Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

In the twenty-first century, a battered world is ruled by a crafty old tyrant, Genghis II Mao IV Khan. The Khan is ninety-three years old, his life systems sustained by the skill of Mordecai Shadrach, a brilliant young surgeon whose chief function is to replace the Khan's worn-out organs. Within the vast tower-complex, the most advanced equipment is dedicated to three top-priority projects, each designed to keep the Khan immortal. Most sinister of these is Project Avatar, by which the Khan's mind and persona are to be transferred to a younger body. Shadrach makes the unsettling discovery that it is his body that is to be used. His friends beg him to flee, but he refuses to panic.Instead, and with startling composure, he evolves a dangerous plan that could change the face of the earth or, if it backfires, mean the end of life. "Shadrach in the Furnace" is at once a broad, sweeping novel and a harsh, abrasive, irreverent book about a life-and-death battle between two titans - one the epitome of evil, the other a paragon of idealism - in a society pushed to extremes.Robert Silverberg is one of the most honoured writers in the history of science fiction and the author of such contemporary classics as "Dying Inside", "The Book of Skulls", and "Lord Valentine's Castle", as well as "Scientists and Scoundrels", also available in a Bison Books edition. He is a past president of the Science Fiction Writers of America and is the only writer to have won five Nebula Awards and five Hugo Awards. In 2004 the Science Fiction Writers of America named him a Grand Master, one of twenty-five writers to have received that designation.

Durability and Repair of Building Structures Dolnośląskie Wydawnictwo Edukacyjne

BUDOWNICTWO

Due to the different durability of building structures, the 21st century has become a century of repair work and rehabilitation for construction. Along with the decreasing amount of area zoned for construction, the increase of such activities in inevitable. The world economic crisis continues to hold back new investments and, therefore, also contributes to this situation. Naturally aging building complexes and, unfortunately, more and more frequently new buildings as well, contain design or construction errors. It is best if the mistakes are noticed during the completion of objects, worse if they don't become noticeable until they are under exploitation. The detrimental effect of the natural environment and negative influence of people cannot be ignored. Due to the increasing aggressiveness of environments and natural aging processes of building structures, the necessity to repair and protect them is becoming increasingly common. The beginning of the 21st century is a period of noticeable climate changes, as well as a time of growing global awareness of dangers which, in turn, has led to the dynamic development of building materials and new technologies. Nanotechnologies and related products, which formerly found application only in cosmetology or medicine, have begun to play a role in construction. As a result of this, construction chemistry has gained importance and proceeded to strengthen the link between construction and classic chemistry. Taking into account both the dangers and challenges that the 21st century poses, such as global warming, reduction of energy consumptions, and restrictions regarding CO2 emissions to the atmosphere, this field of studies will play a key role in the construction industry in the future. Conducting the repair work on a given object or its fragment, entails an individual approach, depending on the type of object, the accepted structural solution, its size and function. Such currently widespread repairs have become a broad civilizational issue and are encountered in all kinds of constructions. This is why the durability and effectiveness of such repairs has become of utmost importance. The purpose of this book is to present the newest national and selected international achievements in terms of the durability and repair of construction objects. The book has been divided into two main sections. The first concerns scientific basis, whilst the second focuses on practical application. The most common fields of practical application, e.g., construction engineering, industrial structures, and reinforced concrete (RC) structures, have been distinguished in the second section. The book contains numerous chapters written by authors who are some of the chief specialists on the given subject matter, within their country as well as abroad. The prepared monograph is addressed to the scientific and engineering environment, as well as to students in fields of study connected with construction. Table of contents 1.

According to Aulus Gellius, Archytas, the Ancient Greek philosopher, mathematician, astronomer, statesman, and strategist, was reputed to have designed and built, around 400 BC, the first artificial, self-propelled flying device, a bird-shaped model propelled by a jet of what was probably steam, said to have actually flown some 200 metres. This machine, which its inventor called The Pigeon, may have been suspended on a wire or pivot for its flight.The 9th century Muslim Berber inventor, Abbas Ibn Firnas's glider is considered by John Harding to be the first attempt at heavier-than-air flight in aviation history.In 1010 AD an English monk, Eilmer of Malmesbury purportedly piloted a primitive gliding craft from the tower of Malmesbury Abbey. Eilmer was said to have flown over 200 yards (180 m) before landing, breaking both his legs. He later remarked that the only reason he did not fly further was because he forgot to give it a tail, and he was about to add one when his concerned Abbot forbade him any further experiments.Bartolomeu de Gusmăo, Brazil and Portugal, an experimenter with early airship designs. In 1709 demonstrated a small airship model before the Portuguese court, but never succeeded with a full-scale model.Pilâtre de Rozier, Paris, France, first trip by a human in a free-flying balloon (the Montgolfičre), built by Joseph-Michel and Jacques-Étienne Montgolfier,. 9 km covered in 25 minutes on October 15, 1783. (see Le Globe below for first unmanned flight, 2 months earlier)Professor Jacques Charles and Les Frčres Robert, two French brothers, Anne-Jean and Nicolas-Louis, variously shared three milestones of pioneering flight :Le Globe, the first unmanned hydrogen gas balloon flew on 26 August 1783.On 1 December 1783 La Charličre piloted by Jacques Charles and Nicolas-Louis Robert made the first manned hydrogen balloon flight.In 1951, the Lockheed XFV-1 and the Convair XFY tailsitters were both designed around the Allison YT40 turboprop engine driving contra-rotating propellers.The British Hawker P.1127 took off vertically in 1960, and demonstrated conventional take off in 1961. By 1964 the first development aircraft, the Hawker Siddeley Kestrel, were flying. These were flown by a tripartite squadron of British, US and West German pilots. The first Hawker Siddeley Harrier flew in 1967.

Loss of El Dorado Picador

Powieści i opowiadania

A passionate and vivid recreation of the history of Trinidad The Loss of El Dorado exposes the barbaric cruelties of slavery and torture and their consequences on all strata of society - from the idealist to the reactionary - in a moving account which penetrates aspects of a complex society more often overlooked by professional historians. It is made up of two forgotten stories - the first being Walter Ralegh's raid on Trinidad and South America in 1595 and ends with his return in 1617, paroled from Tower of London. The second story occurs nearly two hundred years later - the story of the British-sponsored attempt from the newly captured island of Trinidad to set going a revolution in the Spanish Empire. The author looks at what Ralegh left behind in the Caribbean. A brilliantly written narrative history of scandals, betrayal, colonization and forgotten lands - ideal for readers of general history and travel writing.
